Josh Gracin needs a hug. The American Idol alum from the show’s second season recently lost half of his music rights in his divorce battle. According to divorce documents obtained by TMZ, Gracin’s ex-wife of 17 years, Ann Gracin, will receive a 50 percent stake in the 24 songs he recorded during their marriage. Plus he’s got four kids with his now ex-wife so on top of the emasculating blow of owning rights to most of his music, he’s got alimony and child support. Sorry buddy.

Just in case you were wondering, Faith Hill’s neck is fine. I know that as soon as you woke up this morning, that was your first concern before your morning cup of coffee. Hill actually had surgery last month. It was a procedure known as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion which is used to relieve spinal cord or nerve root pressure. So basically it helps with side effects like pain, weakness, numbness and tingling. Hill had it done to correct damage from an injury that happened a few years ago.

Have you heard of Sqor.com? Yea. Me either. Apparently it is a social networking site similar to Twitter, but for sports? There truly is something for everyone on the internet. Thanks, Internet.

Well, the only way I found out about this Sqor thing is because there is a bet on between Packers player Brett Favre and Tim McGraw. Watch…

Eric Church’s next single is called “Like A Wrecking Ball“. Anyone else really wanting a parody video that looks somthing like this? Just me? Okay. (Good luck getting that image out of your head…)

——————————————————————————————————————–Brace yourself…Tim McGraw has announced his first solo Nashville concert in six years. His 2015 Shotgun Rider Tour is now set to hit up Bridgestone Arena on Aug. 15. And just like the rest of his tour, Chase Bryant and Billy Currington will open the show. McGraw last played Nashville in 2012 during his co-headlining Brothers of the Sun Tour with Kenny Chesney. You can also catch Tim here in Indy on August 7 at Klipsch!

Rascal Flatts are planning out their residency in Las Vegas.

“We love Penn & Teller,” DeMarcus told PEOPLE of emulating acts who’ve had long-term success in Sin City. “We might add some illusion. We might also borrow some stuff from Carrot Top. We’ve been in talks with the Cirque du Soleil producers, so expect skimpy costumes, acrobats and a trapeze. Maybe even a Blue Man Group thing if we can find tights that fit.”

All kidding aside, there is one thing that is off the table for the trio: “There will be no monkeys,” vowed LeVox. “We shot the ‘Why Wait’ video out there and it was a lot of fun but that monkey bit the fire out of me and I still have the scars to prove it. Monkeys are banned for life.”

In other words, this is essentially what went down in Blake’s head…

Personally, I’ve been waiting to see if Maddie & Tae were going to be a one hit wonder with “Girl in a Country Song”. But now we have a new music video and single from them, so I guess not! And that makes me happy!

Good news if you missed the Glen Campbell documentary I’ll Be Me in theaters this past fall: CNN has acquired the rights to the film and will be airing it this summer and again next fall. All to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease.

The film’s song “I’m Not Gonna Miss You,” which was up for Best Original Song at the Oscars, was performed by Tim McGraw. The song is Campbell’s last; he does not plan to release more music. Check out Tim’s Oscar performance below!
